and instruction must be provided. If required the
operator may commission the manufacturer / supplier
to provide applicable training.
Always co-ordinate repair activity with operations and
health and safety personnel, and follow all plant
safety requirements and applicable safety and health
laws/regulations.
1.6.3 Safety action
This is a summary of conditions and actions to
help prevent injury to personnel and damage to
the environment and to equipment. For products
used in potentially explosive atmospheres
section 1.6.4 also applies.
PREVENT EXCESSIVE
EXTERNAL PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not
mount expansion joints so that their force, due to
internal pressure, acts on the pump flange.
ONLY CHECK DIRECTION OF
MOTOR ROTATION WITH COUPLING ELEMENT/
PINS REMOVED
Starting in reverse direction of rotation will damage
the pump.
ENSURE CORRECT
LUBRICATION
(See section 5 Commissioning, startup, operation and
shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH
OUTLET VALVE PART OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
user instructions.)
This is recommended to avoid the risk of overloading
and damaging the pump motor at full or zero flow.
Pumps may be started with the valve further open
only on installations where this situation cannot
occur. Pump outlet valve shall be adjusted to comply
with the duty following the run-up process (See
section 5 Commissioning, startup, operation and
shutdown).
START THE PUMP WITH
OUTLET VALVE FULLY OPEN
This is recommended to avoid the risk of overloading
and damaging the pump motor where greater power
is taken at low or shut off flow. Pump outlet valve
shall be adjusted to comply with the duty following the

run-up process (See section 5 Commissioning,
startup, operation and shutdown).
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
INLET VALVES TO BE FULLY
OPEN WHEN PUMP IS RUNNING
Running the pump at zero flow or below the
recommended minimum flow continuously will cause
damage to the seal.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT
ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES
Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a
flow rate with no back pressure on the pump may
overload the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow
rates may cause a reduction in pump/bearing life,
overheating of the pump, instability and
cavitation/vibration.
When ambient temperatures are
likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any
cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained
or otherwise protected.
HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lbs) use a crane
corresponding to the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.
NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK WHILST THE
UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care
must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by
appropriate sitting of the pump, limiting personnel
access and by operator training. If the liquid is
flammable and/or explosive strict safety procedures
must be applied.
Gland Packing must not be used when pumping
hazardous liquids.
DRAIN PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.
FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 °C (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro-
elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
Page 5 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.
GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
PUMP IS OPERATIONAL
THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE
IMPELLER
Trapped lubricant or vapour could cause an
explosion.
HOT AND COLD PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
supplies can present a danger to operators, they
must be shielded to avoid accidental contact. If
complete protection is not possible, the machine
access must be limited to maintenance staff only.
Note: bearing housings must not be insulated and
drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is greater than 68 °C (155 °F) or
below 5 °C (41 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Measures are required to:
• Avoid excess temperature
• Prevent build up of explosive mixtures
• Prevent the generation of sparks
• Prevent leakages
• Maintain the pump to avoid hazard
The following instructions for pumps and pump units
when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
must be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
Both electrical and non-electrical equipment must
meet the requirements of European Directive
94/9/EC.
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is
appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive
coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are
suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of
the specific atmosphere in which they are to be
installed.
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The
party responsible for assembling the pump set shall

The pump will then be supplied with a copy of the
Certificate of Approval by a Notified Body and marked
with both categories. Users must pay particular
attention to pump operation and maintenance
instructions because of the hazard of the explosive
atmosphere.

The responsibility for compliance with the
specified maximum liquid temperature is with the
plant operator.
Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the
liquid temperature varies and when the pump is
required to be used in differently classified potentially
explosive atmospheres. In this case the user is
responsible for ensuring that the pump surface
temperature does not exceed that permitted in its
actual installed location.
Do not attempt to check the direction of rotation with
the coupling element/pins fitted due to the risk of
severe contact between rotating and stationary
components.
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against
a closed valve generating high liquid and casing
external surface temperatures it is recommended that
users fit an external surface temperature protection
device.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips or a Power Monitor and
make routine vibration monitoring.
In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.
The equipment utilises polymer based seals and
bearing surfaces that could be corroded if they
are in contact with unsuitable liquids or gases.
These surfaces are important for the operation of
the pump. Contact Flowserve if you are uncertain
about the performance of these materials with
respect to aggressive substances that may be
present in the hazardous area.
The pump casing must be flooded with liquid to the
minimum level on the dimensional General
Arrangement (GA) drawing, at any time that the pump
is operated. On pumps furnished to Group II
Category 1 below the soleplate, monitoring of the
level with a pump cut out on low level is required.
For pumps furnished to Category 1/2 and 1/3, if the
pump is operating remotely without regular checking,
it must be installed with continuous monitoring of
vibration level, set to shut down the pump at high
vibration levels, see also section 5.8.1.
1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive
mixtures
ENSURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED
AND VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY
Page 7 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
Ensure the pump and relevant suction and discharge
pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times
during the pump operation, so that an explosive
atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to
make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal
systems and any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.
If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition the fitting of an appropriate Dry Run
protection device is recommended (eg liquid
detection or a Power Monitor).
To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapour or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact the coupling guard must be non-sparking and
anti-static.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark the earth contact on the
baseplate must be used.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-
metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is
damp.
The coupling must be selected to comply with
94/9/EC and correct alignment must be maintained.
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
The pump must only be used to handle liquids
for which it has been approved to have the correct
corrosion resistance.
Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and
associated piping due to closing of suction and
discharge valves, which could cause dangerous
excessive pressures to occur if there is heat input to
the liquid. This can occur if the pump is stationary or
running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and ancillary systems.
Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal
barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be
monitored.
If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a
hazard, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.
 ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16

1.6.4.7 Maintenance to the centrifugal pump to

avoid the hazard

CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED

TO AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with
maintenance instructions is with the plant
operator.

To avoid potential explosion hazards during

maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted (see section 6, Maintenance).to
include the following.

a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be

monitored, if necessary, to ensure they function
correctly.
b) Gland packings must be adjusted correctly to
give visible leakage and concentric alignment of
the gland follower to prevent excessive
temperature of the packing or follower.
c) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals. The
correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly
d) Check bearing lubricant level, and if the hours run
show a lubricant change is required.
e) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
f) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm
satisfactory operation.
g) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas
around close clearances, bearing housings and
motors.
h) Check coupling alignment and re-align if
necessary.

1.8 Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. When the Contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into user instructions these
are included here. Where performance data has been
supplied separately to the purchaser these should be
obtained and retained with these user instructions if
required.

1.9 Noise level

Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel
to the noise, and local legislation will define when
guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required,
and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory.
This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.

The usual approach is to control the exposure time to

the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce
emitted sound. You may have already specified a
limiting noise level when the equipment was ordered,
however if no noise requirements were defined, then
attention is drawn to the following table to give an
indication of equipment noise level so that you can
take the appropriate action in your plant.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of
operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and
acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the
values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and
cannot be guaranteed.
Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and
motor” noise is that typically expected from standard
and high efficiency motors when on load directly
driving the pump. Note that a motor driven by an
inverter may show an increased noise at some
speeds.
If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with
your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in
the table should be combined with the level for the
driver obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve
or a noise specialist if assistance is required in
combining the values.
It is recommended that where exposure approaches
the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.
The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m
(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions
over a reflecting plane”.
For estimating sound power level LWA (re 1 pW) then
add 14 dBA to the sound pressure value.

- Background noise is 10dB minimum below all noise levels in each octave band.
- The values shown are at a distance of 1 meter (horizontally) from the major pump surface and
1,5 meters above the floor, using a standard pressure reference of 0,00002 newton per square meter.
- Overall noise level, dB(A) is determined at points of maximum noise level and the values of all
mid-band frequences are basis A scale readings.
When the required condition flow is outside the range of 75 to 125% BEP, a part load correction (PLC) must be
added to the noise level as follows:

2.2 Handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using fork lift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.

2.3 Lifting

For lifting the driver refer to the dimension

To avoid distortion, the pump unit should be
drawing of the driver.
lifted as shown.

Lift points for the pump or the A crane must be used for all pump sets in
pump and the driver
excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel
must carry out lifting, in accordance with local
regulations. The driver and pump weights are
recorded on their respective nameplates.

The pump can be lifted in the horizontal position
with a single point lift.
When lifting pumps with drivers
fitted, the resulting center of gravity may be above
the lifting points, and the method of slinging must
prevent the machine tipping during the lift.
Slings, ropes and other lifting gear must be
positioned where they cannot slip and where a
balanced lift is obtained.
2.4 Storage
If the pump will not be put immediately into service,
it should be stored in a dry room. To avoid any
damage during the storage period, the influence of
any low or high frequency vibration must be totally
inhibited. If the pump is delivered sealed in a
plastic-wrapper, it is of max. importance to avoid
any damage of that wrapper, because this will
protect the pump against humidity. Therefore it
must be checked if this wrapper has become
cracked and if so, the wrapper must be renewed. If
a vertical pump will be stored in horizontal position,
be sure to support the pump sufficiently to avoid
any deformation or bending of the pump.
To avoid the presence of dust and humidity on the
driver, it shall also be wrapped in the same way.

2.4.1 Long period storage
If the pump is delivered in a plastic bag, the
preservations stands up for one year. If the storage
period exceeds this time, the preservation must be
checked and renewed. Also the air tight plastic bag
must be changed. Moreover we recommend to
order a Flowserve Service Engineer for checking
the pump before the first start up.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local regulations. If the
product contains substances, which are harmful to
the environment, these should be removed and
disposed of in accordance with current regulations.
This also includes the liquids and or gases in the
"seal system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safety and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the
current regulations at all times.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Configuration
The model ECPJ covers the highly engineered
specialty end of the Flowserve family of sump
pumps. The pump line is based on a modular
system, thus providing maximum design and
operating flexibility. This is combined with specific
design features, including stiff shaft construction, a
self-contained axial thrust bearing housing and
special materials (Superduplex) for various kind of
services. Altogether this makes the ECPJ the pump
of choice for the most critical applications, like oil
sludge, crude oil water mixtures, ect. The pump
can be manufactured with various hydraulic
configurations, to meet the requirements of the
fluid.
Liquid is surged from pit or tank and is discharging
the liquid via the discharge pipe to the discharge
flange located above the base plate.
The sense of rotation of the pump is
clockwise (CW), looking from the coupling to the
shaft end of the pump.

3.3.5 Heat jacket version
For crystallizing fluids, e.g. liquid sulphur, a fully
heat jacket version is available, including discharge
pipe, columns and pump casing.
3.3.5.1 Procedure of Preheating the pump
before Start-up
Before priming the pump preheat it for at least one
hour to avoid any distortion.
Refer to General Arrangement drawing
for required steam pressure and flowrate.
Dry steam shall be used to
avoid condensation and a condensate lock in the
heat jacket.
3.4 Performance and operating limits
In the interest of operator
safety the unit must not be operated above the
nameplate conditions. Such operation could result
in unit failure causing injury to operating personnel.
Consult instruction book for correct operation and
maintenance of the pump and its supporting
components.
4.0 INSTALLATION
Equipment operated in hazardous locations
must comply with the relevant explosion protection
regulations, see section 1.6.4, Products used in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for
access, ventilation, maintenance and inspection
with ample headroom for lifting and should be as
close as practicable to the supply of liquid to be
pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the
pump set.
4.2 Part Assemblies
Usually the pumps are delivered completely mounted
and adjusted; also the shaft seal is in the correct
position. So no further axial alignment of the rotor is
necessary. If drivers and/or seal systems are
delivered separately, follow the assembly procedure
in section 6.9.
4.3 Foundation
The foundation shall be located on a place that
allows a minimum of pipe work and that is easily
accessible for inspection during operation.
According to the environment the foundation may
Page 15 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
consist of concrete or of steel. It must be rigid and
heavy enough to absorb normal vibrations and
shocks. The baseplate must be supported on the
whole surface. It should be at least 20 - 30 mm (0.8
– 1.2 in) higher than the surrounding to avoid the
deposit of dust and humidity.
4.3.1 Vertical alignment
Vertical alignment is done with levelling screws.
Use a spirit level for correct horizontal alignment of
the baseplate.
The max. vertical misalignment is 0.5 mm/m
pump length.
4.3.2 Steel foundation
When the pump unit is mounted directly on structural
steel frame, it shall be well supported by
constructural beams. It is recommended to check the
natural frequency of the steel frame, because it shall
not coincide with the pump speed. The baseplate has
to be fixed on a flat surface with studs or hex screws,
the exact horizontal alignment is very important!
4.3.3 Concrete foundation
A concrete foundation must have an exact
horizontal alignment and must be placed on solid
ground. First a basic foundation shall be built with
square shaped holes for embedding the foundation
bolts. After putting the baseplate in the foundation
the proper alignment can be obtained by adjusting
it with shims. Now insert the foundation bolts and
grout the space between the basic foundation and
the baseplate with grouting cement (refer to
illustration)
It is very helpful to use a properly made and stable
wooden frame around the baseplate. So the grouting
cement will not flow a side. When the grouting is
totally
set and hardened the foundation bolts shall be
tightened in a firm and symmetrical way.
4.4 Initial alignment
The adjustment of motor and pump must be
checked (if necessary, make a new adjustment)
before first start up of the unit.
The motor flange is equipped with adjustment-
screws on the motorstand. (Values for adjustment

are specified in the coupling instruction manual).
Ensure pump and driver are isolated electrically
and the half couplings are disconnected.
Align the motor to the pump, not the pump to the
motor. Alignment of the motor is achieved by using
the adjustment screws.
4.4.1 Permissible misalignment limits at
working temperature
When checking parallel alignment, the total
indicator read-out (TIR) shown is twice the value of
the actual shaft displacement.
The pump is only pre-aligned! Carefully
check and readjust alignment before start of the
unit.
Take out the spacer of the coupling and check the
alignment of shafts end of pump and driver. The
maximum parallel offset should not exceed 0.05
mm (0.002 in.)and the axially offset can be ±
1 mm (0.04 in.).
 For more details refer to the manufacturer’s
instruction manual of coupling.
a)
b)
a) Parallel Offset: The median lines run parallely.
The maximum allowable parallel offset
depends on the size of coupling and is
indicated in the instruction manual of
manufacturer of coupling
b) Axially Offset: Another offset is the
displacement of one or both of the shafts. A
typical example is thermal expansion.
The DBSE (distance between shaft
ends) is shown on the General Arrangement
Drawing and is larger than the length of the
coupling spacer. This is necessary to compensate
all manufacturing tolerances of intermediate shafts
and column pipes and to allow correct axial
adjustment of the rotor (refer to 5.3.1 Adjusting of
Page 16 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
the rotor).
For installation of the coupling spacer the coupling
hub on the pump shaft must be axially moved to
match the spacer. This results in an axial clearance
"x" between coupling hub and shaft end, which is
taken into account by the coupling selection.
How the alignment of the coupling should be done
you can see on the sketches and explanations
below!
a) b)
a) Fix the dial gauge on the driven shaft and check
the concentricity by turning of both hubs; correct
it if necessary.
b) Fix the dial gauge on the top shaft and check the
concentricity by turning of both hubs; correct it if
necessary.
If the pump is handling hot liquid, the alignment
must be rechecked in warm condition of the unit.
4.5 Piping
4.5.1 General
Protective covers are fitted to the pipe connections
to prevent foreign particles entering during
transportation and installation. Ensure that these
covers are removed from the pump before
connecting any pipes.
Maximum forces and moments allowed on the
pump flanges vary with the pump size and type. To
minimize these forces and moments which may
cause misalignment, hot bearings, worn couplings,
vibration and a possible failure of the pump, the
following points shall be strictly followed:
a) Prevent excessive external pipe load.
b) Do not connect piping by applying external
force (use of wrenches, crane,...). Piping shall
be aligned without residual stress.
c) Do not mount expansion joints so that their
force, due to internal pressure, acts on the
pump flange.
Fitting an isolator and non-return valve can allow
easier maintenance.

A non-return valve shall be located in the discharge
pipework to protect the pump from excessive back
pressure and hence reverse rotation when the unit
is stopped.
If sludge can build up in the sump it is
recommended to use a strainer with a maximum
opening size of 6 mm (0.024 in.) and a free surface
area greater than three times the pump suction
area.
Piping for corrosive liquids shall be arranged to
allow pump flushing before removal of a unit.
4.5.2 External Lubrication
An external lubrication system with clean fluid is
required, if the pumpage is not suitable to flush the
line bearings. The necessary connection is
provided at the baseplate and shown on the
General Arrangement drawing.
The external flushing system is not
scope of Flowserve´s supply.
4.5.3 Internal Lubrication with Inline Filter
An inline filter is required, if the pumpage contents
solids and no clean fluid for external line bearing
flushing is available. Refer to General Arrangement
Drawing for the piping arrangement.
The minimum pressure in the
lubrication system is 2 bar (29 psi) above suction
pressure. If pressure is lower, the filter must be
cleaned by flushing.
4.5.4 Greased lubrication of the line shaft
bearings
By delivery of the pump all lubricating lines are not
filled with grease. Filling quantity for the line
bearings is approximately:
1st (upper) bearing 140cm³
For each additional line bearing 115cm³ has to be
added. Refer to General Arrangement drawing for
the required number of line bearings.
All lubricating lines must be
completely filled with grease before start up of the
pump.
During operation all bearings will be greased
according to grease supplier data sheet.
If the pump is not in service for more than
24h, bearings must be greased with 2cm³ before
start up.
Page 17 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
After a service of the pump, e.g. change of line
bearings, the lubricating lines must be refilled
according to the following procedure:
a) Flush the lubricating lines with oil before
refilling it with grease.
b) Disconnect each lubricating line pipe from the
connection at the line bearing.
c) Fill the pipe with grease using a hand press
until a grease leakage occurs at the loose
piping connection at the line bearing
d) Tight the piping connection at the line bearing.
e) Install the pump on its foundation. The shaft
must be rotated by hand during the filling.
f) Start the pump and grease all lines according
above settings.
Ensure that the grease nipples are clean, not
damaged and fixed before connecting the filling
unit.
Grease quality:
Type: Interflon FIN GREASE MP 00 or
similar
Viscosity: 00 NLGI
The drop point of the grease must be above
the service temperature from the pump.
4.6 Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified
Electrician in accordance with the relevant local
national and international regulations.
It is important to be aware of the
EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE on hazardous areas
where compliance with IEC60079-14 is an
additional requirement for making electrical
connections.
It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when
wiring up and installing equipment on site.
Attention must be paid to ensure that the
techniques used during wiring/installation do not
increase electromagnetic emissions or decrease
the electromagnetic immunity of the equipment,
wiring or any connected devices. If in any doubt
contact Flowserve for advice.
The motor must be wired up in accordance with the
motor manufacturer's instructions (normally
supplied within the terminal box) including any
temperature, earth leakage, current and other
protective devices as appropriate. The
identification nameplate should be checked to

ensure the power supply is appropriate.
A device to provide emergency stopping
must be fitted.
If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit the
controller/starter electrical details will also be
supplied within the controller/starter.
For electrical details on pump sets with controllers
see the separate wiring diagram.
See section 5.4, Direction of
rotation before connecting the motor to the
electrical supply.
4.7 Final shaft alignment check
After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the
shaft several times by hand to ensure there is no
seizure and all parts are free.
Recheck the coupling alignment, as previously
described, to ensure no pipe strain. If pipe strain
exists, correct piping.
4.8 Protection systems
The following protection systems are
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in
a hazardous environment or is handling a
hazardous liquid. If in doubt consult Flowserve.
If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.
If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started. This is particularly
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.
If leakage of product from the pump or its
associated sealing system can cause a hazard. It is
recommended that an appropriate leakage
detection system is installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out.
5.0 COMMISSIONING START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN
These operations must be
carried out by fully qualified personnel.
Page 18 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
5.1 Precommissioning procedure
a) The bearing housing must be filled with the
indicated oil. Check also the oil level.
b) If required open the external lubrication line (refer
to section 4.5.2, External Lubrication System), to
ensure proper lubrication of the line bearings for
start up. It can be closed after start up.
c) If applicable heat jackets must be flushed by
steam prior to start up. Required steam
properties are shown on the General
Arrangement drawing.
d) Check the sense of rotation of the pump
(Coupling spacer dismantled).
Sense of rotation is clockwise viewed to the drive
end of the pump.
e) The pump rotor and the shaft seal must be in
correct axial position. Mounting plates of
mechanical seal must be locked at the seal gland
in open position. Drive-collar of the mechanical
seal sleeve must be tightened. If the pump is
equipped with a soft packing, ensure that the
packing is prelubricated with grease.
f) Check the readiness of all auxiliary systems
(seal sys., lubrication sys.,...) for start up.
g) All pipe work, including the internal and the
auxiliary pipe work, must be connected correctly
and must be absolutely tight. Check the tightness
of all connections of the auxiliary pipe work. The
suction valve must be open, the discharge valve
shall be closed.
h) Turn the pump by hand, if required with the help
of a lever, to check the free rotation of the rotor.
The rotor must turn uniformly and noiselessly.
Some resistance may be felt due to friction in
bearings and seals.
i) Check the readiness of the driver for start up.
Refer to the manual of the driver (preheating for
explosion proof E-motor).
5.2 Pump Lubricants
5.2.1 Lubrication
The bearing housing shall be filled with proper
lubricating oil prior to start up. If the pump will be
started after a longer storage period, the bearing
housing should be first flushed and cleaned with
gasoline. It is not necessary to remove the
preservation oil as this will mix up thoroughly with
the lubrication oil.
Lubrication is provided by the pumping effect of the
rotating ball bearings. Maintaining the correct oil
level (middle of the oil sight glass) ensures that the
lower ball bearing is covered with oil.
For recommended lubricating oils refer to the
lubrication table 5.2.6
5.2.2 Oil change
After first start up, the oil shall be changed after 200
service hours.
Every further oil change shall take place after about

operation. Periodically check if the lubricating oil is
mixed with any condensed water. Careful opening of 4 1.4 (47.3) 7218BJ
the oil drain during a stop of the pump will show any
water.

During operation the level will decrease

due to circulation of the oil through the bearings.

A too high oil level will result in higher

bearing temperatures and therefore poorer
lubrication.

5.2.4 Oil quality

Oil used for lubrication should only be of high
quality. The viscosity of the oil at working
temperature must be at least 10 cSt. The pouring
point of the oil must be in accordance with the
lowest expected temperature of the bearing
housing during a stop of the pump. For
recommended lubricating oils refer to the
lubrication table.
Having selected the corresponding oil quality the
actual oil temperature at the bearing housing must
be checked after two service hours of the pump.
Considering this measured oil temperature the
actual viscosity must be determined by using the
data sheet of the oil, to verify the minimum required
viscosity of 10 cSt. Do not forget, the oil
temperature in the bearing itself is about 10 °C
(∆18 °F) higher than the oil temperature at the
bearing housing. On the following table the oil
viscosity is given at 40 °C (104 °F). Determining the
correct lubricating oil one must take into
consideration that all bearings will have higher tem-
peratures during the first 20 service hours. In
constant operation the bearing temperature will
decrease about 10 °C (50 °F). The oil temperature
shall be lower than 85 °C (185 °F) after this
running-in time. The bearing outer race
temperature should not exceed 95°C (204°F). If the
temperature is higher, the reason may be a wrong
oil quality, wrong oil level or overload of the pump
because of excessive wear.
If the humidity at the site is high, the roller bearings
become easily rusty during stand still periods. To
avoid that, we recommend to mix the lubricating oil
with a corrosion inhibitor contact your lubrication oil
supplier for proper additives inhibitors.

5.2.5 Oil quantity

Bearing size is shown on the name plate of the
pump, and with this the correct thrust bearing
frame can be selected according to the following
table.

5.2.8 Oil change

After first start up, the oil shall be changed after 200
service hours.
Every further oil change shall take place after about
2000 service hours or at least every 6 month.
5.2.9 Oil level
The correct oil level is in the middle of the oil sight glass
and shall be checked when pump is not in operation.
Periodically check if the lubricating oil is mixed with any
condensed water. Careful opening of the oil drain
during a stop of the pump will show any water.
During operation the level will decrease
due to circulation of the oil through the bearings.
A too high oil level will result in higher bearing
temperatures and therefore poorer lubrication.
If the pump is fitted with a Constant Level
Oiler type "WATCHDOG", no adjustment of the oil
level is possible.
5.2.10 Pure oil mist Lubrication
Pure oil mist system utilize a continuous oil mist flow
through the bearing housing to deliver clean oil
directly to the bearings and to maintain an outward
flow of air from the housing to prevent the ingress of
moisture and other corrosive contaminants. If the
pump will be started after a longer storage period, the
bearing housing should be first flushed and cleaned
with gasoline. It is not necessary to remove the
preservation oil.

5.2.9.1 Adjusting of WATCHDOG Constant Level

Oiler
This design of Watchdog Oiler prevents the flooding
of the bearing by means of the positive setting in the
Oiler, thus maintaining the correct oil level at all
times. When these Oilers are used on Ball or Roller
bearings, the installation is the same as described
below, excepting that the oil level in the bearing
should never cover more than maximum above inside
diameter of the outer race at its lowest point.

The supplied air must be dry and clean. The

cleanness shall be < 5µm.

5.2.11 Oil quality
Oil used for lubrication should only be of high quality.
Flowserve recommend that quality synthetic oil are
used where ambient temperatures fall below 4°C; the
oil used must be paraffin free to prevent plugging of
the reclassifier.
Oil with a viscosity class ISO VG100 shall be used,
refer also to lubrication table 5.2.3.

Value of 0.09 SCFM should be used at the Manifold.
The bearing housing is equipped with a constant level
oiler with included overflow device. The Overflow
connection (3/8” tube) shall be connected to a
collection container.
Check overflow setting as per Oiler IOM.
The pressure in the bearing housing shall be 0,05
bar (0,74 psi) (20 inches of water column). A
continuous oil mist lubrication should be provided
during operation and stand by.
After start up the bearing temperature
must be observed carefully. The temperature at the
bearing housing should not exceed 85°C.
Refer to the GA-drawing regarding the
connections to the supply systems.
5.2.14 Oil change
After first start up, the oil shall be changed after 200
service hours.
Every further oil change shall take place after about
2000 service hours or at least every 6 month.

Page 22 of 42

To change the oil use the following procedure:
a) Open the oil drain on the bearing housing to
remove the oil.
b) Close the oil drain and fill in Oil through the vent
connection on the bearing cover until the oil level
reaches the middle of the sight glass.
c) Fill the reservoir of the constant level oiler.
d) If necessary, the oil level can be adjusted by
referring to section 5.2.4 Oil level.
5.2.15 Oil level
The correct oil level is in the middle of the oil sight glass
and shall be checked when pump is not in operation.
Periodically check if the lubricating oil is mixed with any
condensed water. Careful opening of the oil drain
during a stop of the pump will show any water.
During operation a small increase of the oil level
can occur due to the oil mist supply.
A too high oil level will result in higher bearing
temperatures and therefore poorer lubrication.
5.3 Impeller clearance
Correct axial rotor setting is essential for trouble free
operation of the pump.
5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor
a) Remove coupling spacer, coupling hub on pump
shaft and vane [8161.2] (when delivered).
b) Fix the position of the mechanical seal by putting
the assembly jigs, mounted on the seal end plate,
into the groove in the shaft sleeve.
No requirements for softpacking,
V-ring or throttle bushing.
c) Open screws from the clamping unit, located on
the end of the shaft sleeve (refer to shaft seal
drawing).
d) Loose and remove socket head cap screws
[6579.1] from the shaft nut [2910].
e) Turn shaft nut upside till the rotor moves in the
lowest position and cannot turned by hand.
f) Measure the dimension from the shaft nut to the
end of the shaft.
g) Now lift the rotor by turning the shaft nut in the
other direction till it is in the highest position.
For heavy pumps
(rotor weight > 150 kg (331 lb.)) we recommend
the following practice. The rotor is already in its
lowest position. Screw in an Eyebolt into the
thread at the top of the shaft. Use a lever or a
crane to lift the shaft (do it slowly, the axial
clearance is only a few millimetres).
Page 23 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
h) Measure again the dimension from the shaft nut
to the end of the shaft.
i) For closed impeller with back wear rings (Type R)
take the mean value of the two dimensions and
adjust the rotor to this value by turning the shaft
nut.
For standard semi open or standard free flow
impeller (Type O,F) adjust the rotor to 0.7 mm
(0.03 in.) of its highest position.
The type of hydraulic is shown on the
nameplate (refer to section 3.2 Nomenclature)
j) Fix the shaft nut with the socket head cap
screws.
Turn the shaftnut always in
downwards direction to meet the whole for the
socket head cap screw.
k) Fix the shaft sleeve with the clamping unit and
turn the assembling jigs out of the groove from
the shaft sleeve and fix them on the seal end
plate.
l) Check if the shaft can be turned easy by hand
m) Mount fan (when delivered) coupling hub and
spacer again.
5.4 Direction of rotation
The sense of rotation of the
pump is clockwise (CW); looking from the coupling to
the shaft end of the pump.
The rotation of the driver shall be checked.
5.5 Guarding
Be sure that the coupling guards are mounted
correctly at the thrust motor stool prior to start up.
5.6 Priming and auxiliary supplies
Ensure that the minimum liquid level is maintained.
The minimum liquid level is shown on the
General Arrangement Drawing.
Open external flushing line, if provided. (refer to
section 4.5.2 External Lubrication.
Auxiliary systems, e.g. barrier /buffer fluid systems,
cooling circuits, shall be filled according to the user
instructions.
5.7 Starting the pump
a) Start the driver according to the specification.
(Refer to driver IOM)
Pumps are usually started against
closed discharge valve

b) Check the discharge and suction pressure gauge
to verify the pumps delivered head. If pump is
equipped with external flushing or inline filter (refer
to chapter 4.5.2, 4.5.3) Check the pressure gauge
in the flushing line. Open the discharge valve
slowly, until the pump reaches the specified
operation point. The pump must operate smoothly,
and the vibration must be below 5 mm/s (0.2
in./sec) (API 610 vibration limits).
The discharge valve must be opened
within 30 sec. after start up. Longer operation
against closed discharge valve will damage the
pump. If a minimum flow valve is installed, take
pressure gauge readings to verify the correct
operation.
If the backpressure of the discharge
pipe is sufficient, pumps can be started against
open valve.
Ensure that your driver is capable deliver
the higher torque required by starting against
open valve.
To prevent the pump from reverse rotation
after shut down, the installation of a check valve
is recommended.
Although the pump is not affected by reverse
rotation because of special coupling design, it
can be an issue with the driver.
Check the discharge and suction pressure gauge
to verify the pumps delivered head.
The pump must operate smoothly, and the
vibration must be below 5 mm/s (0.2 in./sec) (API
610 vibration limits).
If a minimum flow valve is installed, take pressure
gauge readings to verify the correct operation.
c) Check the pipe system against any leakage.
d) Check the mechanical seal against any leakage.
There is no fluid at the seal by ECPJ
pumps. Only the barrier liquid can leak against
the atmosphere. Right after start up a minor
leakage of the mechanical seal is quite normal.
Normally this leakage disappears after few
minutes of operation.
5.8 Operation
a) Verify that the pump is operating within the
specified limits, min/max flow, pressure,
temperature, vibration, power
b) The bearing housing temperature shall not exceed
80 °C (176 °F). If higher bearing temperature are
observed, check the viscosity grade of the used
lubrication oil.
Page 24 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
The minimum viscosity is 10
cSt at the expected oil temperature.
(Oil temperature = bearing gland temperature
+ 10 °C (50 °F))
c) From time to time check the pump shaft seal.
Leakage of 5 ml/hour is also with a mechanical
shaft seal unavoidable.
If pump is equipped with soft
packing, maintain regreasing intervals.
d) Observe the power consumption of the pump to
detect excessive wear.
5.8.1 Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip
For guidance, pumps generally fall under a classification
for rigid support machines within the International
rotating machinery standards and the recommended
maximum levels below are based on those standards.
Alarm and trip values for installed pumps
should be based on the actual measurements (N) taken
on the pump in the fully commissioned as new condition.
Regular monitoring of the pump vibration is
recommended to show any deterioration in pump or
system operating conditions. The vibration is
measured adjacent to the pump thrust bearing.
For remote installations continuous monitoring and
automatic alert and shutdown is recommended.
Vibration velocity – unfiltered mm/sec (in./sec) r.m.s.
Normal N ≤ 3.4 (0.14)
Alarm N x 1.25 ≤ 4.25 (0.17)
Shutdown trip N x 2.0 ≤ 6.8 (0.27)
5.9 Stopping and Shutdown
a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure that the pump
runs in this condition for no more than a few
seconds.
b) Stop the pump.
c) Switch off flushing and/or cooling/ heating liquid
supplies at a time appropriate to the process.
d) For prolonged shut-downs and especially when
ambient temperatures are likely to drop below
freezing point, the pump and any cooling and
flushing arrangements must be drained or
otherwise protected.
For automatic start/stop operation of the
pump,ensure that all steps described in chapter 5.6,
5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 are implemented in the control logic.
5.10 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical
duty
This product has been supplied to meet the
performance specifications of your purchase order,
however it is understood that during the life of the

product these may change. The following notes will
help the user to decide how to evaluate the
implications of any change. If in doubt contact your
nearest Flowserve office.
5.10.1 Specific gravity (SG)
Pump capacity and total head in meters (feet) do not
change with SG, however pressure displayed on a
pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power
absorbed is also directly proportional to SG.
It is therefore important to check that any change in
SG will not overload the pump driver or over-
pressurize the pump.
5.10.2 Viscosity
For a given flow rate the total head reduces with
increased viscosity and increases with reduced
viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power
absorbed increases with increased viscosity, and
reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that
checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if
changes in viscosity are planned.
5.10.3 Pump speed
Changing pump speed effects flow, total head, power
absorbed, NPSHR, noise and vibration. Flow varies
in direct proportion to pump speed. Head varies as
speed ratio squared. Power varies as speed ratio
cubed. If increasing speed it is important therefore to
ensure the maximum pump working pressure is not
exceeded, the driver is not overloaded,
NPSHA>NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are
within local requirements and regulations.
5.10.4 Net positive suction head (NPSHA)
NPSH available (NPSHA.) is a measure of the
energy available in the pumped liquid, above its
vapour pressure, at the pump suction branch.
NPSH required (NPSHR.) - is a measure of the
energy required in the pumped liquid, above its
vapour pressure, to prevent the pump from cavitating.
It is important that NPSHA >NPSHR. The margin
between NPSHA >NPSHR should be as large as
possible. If any change in NPSHA is proposed,
ensure these margins are not significantly eroded.
Refer to the pump performance curve to determine
exact requirements particularly if flow has changed. If
in doubt please consult your nearest Flowserve office
for advise and details of the minimum allowable
margin for your application.
5.10.5 Pumped flow
Flow must not fall outside the minimum and
maximum continuous safe flow shown on the pump
performance curve and/or data sheet.

6.0 MAINTENANCE
6.1 General
It is the plant operator's responsibility to
ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly
work is carried out by authorized and qualified
personnel who have adequately familiarized
themselves with the subject matter by studying this
manual in detail.
(See also section 1.6.2.)
Any work on the machine must be performed when it
is at a standstill. It is imperative that the procedure for
shutting down the machine is followed, as described
in section 5.9.
On completion of work all guards and safety devices
must be re-installed and made operative again.
Before restarting the machine, the relevant
instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start
up, operation and shut down must be observed.
Oil and grease leaks may make the ground
slippery. Machine maintenance must always
begin and finish by cleaning the ground and the
exterior of the machine.
If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for
maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to
areas where maintenance and inspection are to be
carried out. The positioning of these accessories
must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to
be serviced.
When air or compressed inert gas is used in the
maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the
vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate
protection.
Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin.
Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people.
Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean
clothes.
Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board on
the starting device with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not start".
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch
open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board
on the fuse box or main switch with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not connect".

Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or
carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic
fumes when using cleaning agents.
6.2 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan
and schedule is adopted, in line with these User
Instructions, to include the following:
a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored,
if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
b) Gland packings must be adjusted correctly to
give visible leakage and concentric alignment of
the gland follower to prevent excessive
temperature of the packing or follower.
c) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals. The
correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly.
d) Check bearing lubricant level, and if the hours run
show a lubricant change is required.
e) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
f) Check vibration, noise level and surface
temperature at the bearings to confirm
satisfactory operation.
g) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas
around close clearances, bearing housings and
motors.
h) Check coupling alignment and re-align if
necessary.
Our specialist service personnel can help with
preventative maintenance records and provide
condition monitoring for temperature and vibration to
identify the onset of potential problems.
If any problems are found the following sequence of
actions should take place:
a) Refer to section 8, Faults; causes and remedies,
for fault diagnosis.
b) Ensure equipment complies with the
recommendations in this manual.
c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.
6.2.1 Routine Inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be
made and the appropriate action taken to remedy any
deviations.
a) Check operating behavior; ensure noise, vibration
and bearing temperatures are normal.
b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid or
lubricant leaks (static and dynamic seals) and
that any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and
operating normally.
c) Check that shaft seal leaks are within acceptable
limits.
d) Check the level and condition of lubrication oil.
On grease lubricated pumps, check running
Page 26 of 42

hours since last recharge of grease or complete
grease change.
e) Check any auxiliary supplies eg. heating/cooling
(if fitted) are operating correctly.
f) Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment if routine checks needed.
6.2.2 Periodic Inspection (every 6 Month)
a) Check foundation bolts for
security of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump operation hours to determine if
bearing lubricant shall be changed.
c) The coupling should be checked for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.
 Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
When ordering spare parts we need the following
information:
1. pump type and pump size
2. serial number of the pump
3. number of the required spare parts
4. reference number and name of the part as listed
in the part list or in the sectional drawing
Example: for Vertical, single stage, sump pump:
ECPJ 32-250, serial number G202222/01
1 piece impeller Pos. 2200
The serial number of each pump is indicated on the
name plate. If the material should be changed from
the original delivered one, additionally indicate the
exact material specification. If ordered impellers shall
have smaller or larger outer diameter, indicate also
with your order. Without a special remark the spare
impellers will be delivered with the diameter of the
original impellers.
If you need the wear rings oversized or undersized,
please indicate, otherwise the wear rings will be
delivered with standard size.
To ensure continuous satisfactory operation,
replacement parts to the original design specification
should be obtained from Flowserve.
Any change to the original design specification
(modification or use of a non-standard parts) will
invalidate the pump’s safety certification.
6.3.2 Storage of spares
Spares should be stored in a clean dry area away from
vibration. Inspection and retreatment of metallic
surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is
recommended at a 6 monthly interval.

6.6 Setting impeller clearance
For axial rotor setting see section 5 Commissioning
startup, operation and shutdown.
6.7 Disassembly
Refer to section 1.6, Safety, before
dismantling the pump.
Before dismantling the pump for
overhaul, ensure genuine Flowserve replacement
parts are available.
Refer to sectional drawings for part numbers and
identification.
6.7.1 Dismantling
1) If the pump is mounted on a tank, ensure that
explosive or toxic gases are drained completely. By
pumping explosive or toxic media, flush the tank
with Nitrogen.
2) Uncouple the pump from the motor and remove the
motor after disconnecting it from the electrical net.
3) Pull off the coupling hub from the top shaft [2130.1]
and take out the key.[6700.1].
4) Secure the mechanical seal by putting the
mounting plates into the groove of the shaft sleeve.
Loose the clamping ring, and disconnect the seal
piping.
Drain the seal system, if
applicable.
5) Drain the oil from the bearing housing using the
plug [6569]. Loose the bolts and pull out the pump
from the pit or tank.
6) Loose the socket head cap screw [6579.1] and slip
down the rotor by turning the shaft nut [2910] and
remove it.
If applicable pull off the vane [8161.2]
after loosing the socket set screw [6577.11].
If the pump is equipped with a rigid
spacer coupling open the socket head cap
screws [6579.3] at the top shaft [2130.2] and
[2130.1]. Push up the top shaft [2130.2] and
remove the intermediate coupling [7021]. To pull
off the coupling hubs, open the socket head cap
screws [6579.4] and remove the retaining ring
[2530].
Take care of the lock washer [4357].

7.0 AUXILIARIES
For additional accessories refer to
separate Instrumentation manuals.
7.1 Seal and seal systems
By ECPJ pumps the inner seal is not exposed to the
fluid. Therefore only seal systems are used, which
require no flushing of the inner seal.
7.1.1 Dual Mechanical Seal pressurized with
API–Plan 53a
Refer to mechanical seal drawing and
auxiliary piping drawing.
The pump is equipped with a dual mechanical seal in
face to back configuration, back to back configuration
or face to face configuration.
Actions before first start up:
The pump will be delivered with correct vertical
adjustment of the rotor.
Try to turn the rotor by hand.If the
rotor cannot be turned readjust it following procedure
in section 5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor.
The mechanical seal requires no adjustment
anymore. Check if the mounting plates are already
swung out.
Actions after start up:
Check all connections to the seal gland and the
mechanical seal itself against leakage. Check the
temperature of the seal gland. I slight increase of
temperature may be observed during the run in
period.
Plan 53 pressurized dual seal systems are used in
services where no leakage to atmosphere can be
tolerated. A Plan 53a system consists of dual
mechanical seals with a liquid barrier fluid between
them. The barrier fluid is contained in a seal pot
which is pressurized to a pressure of approximately
1.5 bar (23 psi) greater than the pump seal chamber.
Inner seal leakage will be barrier fluid leakage into
the product. There will always be some leakage
(max.5 ml/hour).
The leakage rate is monitored by monitoring the seal
pot level. The product must be able to accommodate
a small amount of contamination from the barrier
fluid. The seal pot pressure must be maintained at
the proper level. If the seal pot pressure drops, the
system will begin to operate like a Plan 52, or
unpressurized dual seal, which does not offer the
same level of sealing integrity. Specifically, the inner
seal leakage direction will be reversed and the barrier
fluid will, over time, become contaminated with the
Page 32 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
process fluid with the problems that result, including
possible seal failure.
Fill the seal system with a suitable
barrier buffer fluid (refer to lubrication table).
Open all necessary valves in the
cooling and auxiliary piping and check the flow.
Disassembly of the seal cartridge
is only allowed by authorized personal. Contact
Flowserve for any service of the mechanical seal. We
recommend to have a spare cartridge seal on stock
for easy replacement.
7.1.2 Dual Mechanical Seal pressurized with
API–Plan 54
Refer to mechanical seal drawing and
auxiliary piping drawing.
The pump is equipped with a dual mechanical seal in
face to back configuration, back to back configuration
or face to face configuration.
Try to turn the rotor by hand.If the
rotor cannot be turned readjust it following procedure
in section 5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor.
The mechanical seal requires no adjustment
anymore. Check if the mounting plates are already
swung out.
Actions after start up:
Check all connections to the seal gland and the
mechanical seal itself against leakage. Check the
temperature of the seal gland. I slight increase of
temperature may be observed during the run in
period.
Plan 54 pressurized dual seal systems are used in
services where no leakage to atmosphere can be
tolerated. A Plan 54 system consists of dual
mechanical seals with a liquid barrier fluid between
them. The barrier fluid is supplied from an external
source, which is pressurized to a pressure of
approximately 1.5 bar (23 psi) greater than the pump
seal chamber. Inner seal leakage will be barrier fluid
leakage into the product. There will always be some
leakage (max.5 ml/hour).
The barrier fluid pressure must not be less than the
sealed pressure. If it were, the failure of one inner
seal could contaminate the entire barrier fluid system
and cause additional seal failures.
Carefully consider the reliability of
the barrier fluid source. If the source is interrupted or
contaminated, the resulting seal failures are very
expensive.

Open all necessary valves in the
cooling and auxiliary piping and check the flow.
Disassembly of the seal cartridge
is only allowed by authorized personal. Contact
Flowserve for any service of the mechanical seal. We
recommend to have a spare cartridge seal on stock
for easy replacement.
7.1.3 Dual Mechanical Seal pressurized with
API–Plan 74
Refer to mechanical seal drawing and
auxiliary piping drawing.
The pump is equipped with a dual mechanical seal in
face to back configuration, back to back configuration
or face to face configuration.
Actions before first start up:
The pump will be delivered with correct vertical
adjustment of the rotor.
Try to turn the rotor by hand.If the
rotor cannot be turned readjust it following procedure
in section 5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor.
The mechanical seal requires no adjustment
anymore. Check if the mounting plates are already
swung out.
Actions after start up:
Check all connections to the seal gland and the
mechanical seal itself against leakage. Check the
temperature of the seal gland. I slight increase of
temperature may be observed during the run in
period.
Plan 74 pressurized dual seal systems are used in
services where no leakage to atmosphere can be
tolerated. A Plan 74 system consists of dual
mechanical seals with a gaseous barrier fluid
between them. The most common barrier gas is plant
nitrogen. The supply pressure to the seal is typically
at least 0,17 Mpa (1,7 bar) (25 psi) greater than the
seal chamber pressure. This results in a small
amount of gas leakage into the pump, with most of
the gas barrier leaking to atmosphere. This
arrangement should never be used where the
barrier-gas pressure can be less than the sealed
pressure. If this were to happen, the entire barrier gas
system could become contaminated with the pumped
fluid.
The Plan 74 system is intended to function as follows:
the barrier gas first flows through an isolation block
valve and a check valve provided by the purchaser. It
then enters a system, usually mounted on a plate or
panel, provided by the seal vendor. An inlet block
valve on the panel is followed by a 2µm to 3µm filter
coalescer to remove any paricles and liquid that
might be present. The gas then flows through a
Page 33 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
back-pressure regulator which is set at least
0,17 Mpa (1,7 bar) (25 psi) greater than the seal
chamber pressure (in some case, users prefer to
install an orifice after the regulator to limit the amount
of nitrogen that is used in the event of a seal that
sticks open). A flow meter follows the regulator and is
used to measure the flow, while the pressure
indicator is used to confirm adequate pressure. The
low pressure switch is used to raise an alarm upon
loss of barrier gas or excessive leakage of the seals.
The last elements on the panel are a check valve and
a block valve. Barrier gas is then routed to the seal
using tubing. A drain is mounted on the gas barrier
outlet to allow venting/draining for maintenance.
The instrumentation of the Plan 74
system may dependend on service requirements.
Refer to Plan 74 system drawing for instrumentation
details.
Open all necessary valves in the
nitrogen line and check pressure and flow. Refer to
mechanical seal drawing for pressure and flow
requirements.
Disassembly of the seal cartridge
is only allowed by authorized personal. Contact
Flowserve for any service of the mechanical seal. We
recommend to have a spare cartridge seal on stock
for easy replacement.
7.1.4 Dual Mechanical Seal unpressurized with
API–Plan 11+52+61
Refer to mechanical seal drawing and
auxiliary piping drawing.
The pump is equipped with a dual mechanical seal.
The cartridge design allows to change the
mechanical seal without taking it apart.
Try to turn the rotor by hand.If the
rotor cannot be turned readjust it following procedure
in section 5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor.
The mechanical seal requires no adjustment
anymore. Check if the mounting plates are already
swung out.
Actions after start up:
Check all connections to the seal gland and the
mechanical seal itself against leakage. Check the
temperature of the seal gland. I slight increase of
temperature may be observed during the run in
period.
The faces of the inner mechanical seal are flushed by
the product (API Plan11). In Plan 11, product is
routed from the pump discharge via an orifice to the

seal chamber to provide cooling for the seal and to
vent air or vapors from the seal chamber. Fluid then
flows from the seal cavity back into the process
stream. Between the inner mechanical seal and the
outer (atmospheric) mechanical seal is a liquid buffer
fluid, which is unpressurized (API Plan 52). The
buffer fluid is contained in a seal pot (refer to drawing
of the seal pot), which is vented to a vent system,
thus maintaining the buffer fluid pressure close to
atmospheric.
Inner seal leakage will be product leakage into the
buffer fluid. There will always be some leakage
(max.5 ml/hour).
Plan 52 is used for flashing liquids, which have a
vapour pressure higher then the buffer fluid pressure.
So the product will flash in the seal pot and the
vapour can escape to the vent system.
All screw / flange connections have to be proofed.
Straight screw joints made of stainless steel have to be
tightened especially carefully.
Fill the seal system with a suitable
buffer fluid (refer to lubrication table).
Ensure that the valve GV for the
connection V is open (Barrier/buffer fluid vessel
drawing).
Open the Block & Bleed valve to
allow proper function of the PSH (set point 0.5 bar
(7.25 psi) above flare pressure).
Open all necessary valves in the
cooling and auxiliary piping and check the flow.
API Plan 61 has tapped and plugged connections for
the purchaser´s use. Typically this plan is used when
the purchaser is to provide fluid (such as steam, gas, or
water) to an external sealing device.
Refer to the GA - drawing for the
required quench medium, pressure and flow.
Disassembly of the seal cartridge
is only allowed by authorized personal. Contact
Flowserve for any service of the mechanical seal. We
recommend to have a spare cartridge seal on stock
for easy replacement.
7.1.5 Single Mechanical Seal with API–Plan 32+61
Refer to mechanical seal drawing and
auxiliary piping drawing.
The pump is equipped with a single mechanical seal.
The cartridge design allows to change the
mechanical seal without taking it apart.
Page 34 of 42
ECPJ USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH - 05/16
Try to turn the rotor by hand.If the
rotor cannot be turned readjust it following procedure
in section 5.3.1 Adjusting of the rotor.
Actions after start up:
Check all connections to the seal gland and the
mechanical seal itself against leakage. It is usual that
at the seal faces a small leakage occurs after start
up, which decreases with the time of operation and
should stop after the seal is run in. Check the
temperature of the seal gland. I slight increase of
temperature may be observed during the run in
period. The mechanical seal is flushed by an API
Plan 32 and the temperature at the seal gland should
be max. 10 °C (18 °F) above the pumped liquid
temperature, unless otherwise specified by
mechanical seal supplier.
Plan 32 is used in services containing solids or
contaminants where a suitable cleaner or cooler
extern flush will improve the seal environment. It is
also used to reduce flashing or air intrusion (in
vacuum services) across the seal faces by providing
a flush that has a lower vapor pressure or that will
raise the seal chamber pressure to an acceptable
level. The external flush shall be continuous and
reliable even during non-standard situations such as
start-up or shutdown. The external flush shall also be
compatible with the process stream because it will
leak from the seal chamber into the process fluid.
In Plan 32, the flushing product is brought from an
external source to the seal. This plan is almost
always used in conjunction with a close-clearance
throat bushing.
Refer to the GA - drawing for the
required flushing fluid, pressure and flow.
API Plan 61 has tapped and plugged connections for
the purchaser´s use. Typically this plan is used when
the purchaser is to provide fluid (such as steam, gas, or
water) to an external sealing device.

The mechanical seal is mounted as a complete unit in
the casing cover [1221] (Cartridge design).
The lubrication of the sealing faces and the cooling is
done from top of the sealing chamber through a pipe
with an orifice back to the suction side (API Plan 32).
Next to the mechanical seal is a quenching chamber
with a throttle bushing the quenching chamber has to
be flushed with water or steam (API Plan 62).
